Teeth Whitening in Boise, ID
Dr. Dennis Garpetti and Dr. Brock Hyder will perform a complete exam prior to any cosmetic dental treatment. We will discuss you cosmetic goals, budget, and the cause of discoloration at your visit. Our team will suggest the best treatment for you, either professional teeth whitening or another cosmetic treatment.
In-office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is a quick and effective option to whiten teeth. We can whiten your teeth by several shades and remove stains in just one hour. To protect your gums and lips from irritation or damage, we will apply a protective covering over the gums and lips. The dentist will then apply a professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth. We activate this gel with a special blue light. Patients can immediately notice a brighter and whiter smile right after the treatment.
At-home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening kits offer a gradual and effective approach to whitening your teeth. This option is best for people who prefer to achieve results at their own pace. Your dentist can create custom trays that will fit right over your teeth. Your dentist will review all aspects of your treatment to ensure you achieve the results you want. After a few uses, patients will begin to notice beautiful results.
Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Store-Bought Products
While each method offers specific pros and cons, professional teeth whitening provides the best and safest benefits. Professional teeth whitening treatments from a dentist involve using high-concentration bleaching agents. Store-bought options cannot deliver the same results since the concentration levels of the whitening agent are much lower. This also allows professional treatments to deliver much faster results.
Store-bought whitening products are one-size-fits-all treatments. Dentists can customize the whitening treatments to meet people’s specific needs. If you whiten your teeth from a dentist, they can also monitor the progress, minimizing the risk of gum irritation and damage.
It may seem tempting to use whitening treatments from a store. These products are convenient and often much cheaper, and there are many to choose from. However, they will likely not deliver the results you want, and you risk harming the soft tissues in your mouth without the advice of a dentist.
What Are Some Other Ways to Whiten Teeth?
For some people, professional teeth whitening will not work. However, we offer plenty of other options to enhance your teeth. We use advanced techniques to ensure your smile looks its best. Here are the alternatives if professional treatments do not work for you:
Porcelain Veneers
Dentists apply these thin shells to the front of your teeth. These cosmetic restorations whiten, reshape, and align your teeth. Teeth veneers offer a long-lasting solution for teeth with difficult stains. To learn more about the benefits of dental veneers, see Porcelain Veneers.
Lumineers
Similar to dental veneers, lumineers are ultra-thin and require less preparation. This type of cosmetic tooth-covering provides a natural and bright appearance. Lumineers are popular with people who want a permanent, less invasive way to whiten teeth. To learn more about the process to get lumineers, see Lumineers.
Tooth Bonding
Teeth bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to your teeth. It covers stains and discolorations, giving your teeth a uniform look. Tooth bonding works well for minor imperfections such as tough tooth stains or yellow teeth. To learn more about the benefits of teeth bonding, see Tooth Bonding.
Dental Crowns
For severely damaged or stained teeth, we may suggest dental crowns. This type of tooth restoration offers a complete solution. Teeth crowns encase the entire tooth, restoring both its color and function. To learn more about the crown process, see Dental Crowns.
With other options available, we make achieving an attractive smile easier than ever. During your consultation, we will let you know if we believe tooth whitening is the best option or if you would be better off with one of the alternative options.
